Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

Yah that garage is nuts! Super jealous.
I just built mine in the fall, I'll post some pics up later this week maybe.
Looks fantastic! Did you do the floor yourself or hire someone to do it for you?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thanks all,
It ended up being a fair amount of money so I did in stages, then I paid to have the mudding, taping, knock down ceiling, floors, Cabinets, benches, and slat wall professionally done.
I did some of the little things like painting, lighting, etc (Lol so not a lot)
It also has in floor heating which keeps it nice and warm in the winter, though it is a mess right now!
Definitely looks great! Do you mind sharing the dimensions of your garage?
oh man why did I not think of that! Well done sir (for those of us with high power requirements)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I've been ok with 100a panel ~ 80a service. I have a box fan attached to the rear of my tig welder that i run an extension cord and plug it in my houses when I have to crank ac tig lol but ive been alright. Had I 200a 10 years ago, I would likely have a completely different shop!
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.
My garage is concrete and after many years of working on cars there are a lot of oil stains and it just doesn't look that great any more.
What is the best bang for my buck if I want a floor that will be spill resistant and easy to clean? That epoxy flooring posted earlier looks really nice...

It sounds like the Rustoleum product is decent IF AND ONLY IF you prep it correctly.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Damn that is a pimping garage.
I've been procrastinating on even getting mine insulated. At this point I'm probably just gonna pay someone to do it.
What kind of cabinets are most Beyonders getting for garage? Home Depot/Lowes stuff? Any particular items to watch out for re sales?
Gladiator stuff at Lowes goes on sale all the time. Not worth it at 100% cost but usually can pickup at 25%+ discounts. Its OK.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
As I understand it, you have to get every last trace of oil out of the concrete or the epoxy won't stick for shit, especially the DIY stuff.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Look into Ikea kitchen cabinets, they're having their kitchen event right now but it happens twice a year usually. If you get the plain white doors, it's pretty inexpensive I think. They even had a stainless steel finished door that might look good in the garage but the price climbs quite a bit depending on door finishing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Here's my cabinet setup:
Two options: Cabinets by Haley or Proslat Fusion Pro line.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I got a whole row of cabinets from the place that cuts my hair haha (they renovated)
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.
File cabinets are the shit for garage storage lol
Haley Cabinets are VERY nice! I looked at them and decided against as similar to what had made (Though Hailey are more durable, etc) was just over 40k without that big corner one which I have my compressor and some other storage in. I spent 1/3 of that on the cabinets being custom made and installed into the garage.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
